Apni Party promises statehood for Jammu & Kashmir and release of youth from jails

​​The party has been facing a lot of desertions, especially after most of its candidates lost in the recent Lok Sabha elections as their detractors labelled them as "B team" of BJP. Party general secretary Rafi Mir, who released the manifesto in the absence of party chief Altaf Bukhari, clarified that the party was neither affiliated with the BJP in the past nor is it connected with the BJP at present.
